My therapist said that, too. That I have a tendency to take responsibility for things that are not mine to be responsible for.
I didn't have the presence of mind to ask him how he can say that when one of the major areas of conflict in our relationship is that he thinks I try to duck responsibility for myself.
Maybe he's talking about different types of situations. Or maybe I initially attempt to duck all responsibility, but when I fail I try to accomplish everything.
I'm going to have to follow up on that aspect of what he said. Sometimes he totally bewilders me.
